Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 175: Terrifying Development
I decided to remain silent and not say anything. Only by doing this would I be able to learn a lot of things. If I kept talking with my mysterious image everyone would think I actually knew everything when my knowledge was only limited to what happened in the physical world. So keeping quiet and watching was the best option."Huh?" It was Golden Buddha who talked. His helmet was still on and I couldn't even see his face, much less know what expression he had right now. But then from his body movements, I could tell that he was surprised. After having the Joker and Psychopath personalities integrated to become the God of Copycats personality, I'd mastered the ability to read expressions and body movements. So telling what expression the young man had right now was very much easy for me."Team leader, how come I have two points?" he asked as he turned to look at Red Witch. "I'm only a level ten player while you're..."I didn't know why but he decided to stop at that point. Was revealing
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 176: Mission Update
I remained silent for another five minutes, watching them grudgingly join my team. Among all of them, only Red Witch joined willingly. After all, she had been the one to suggest this to me. The others were grudgingly joining because they were feeling sad about Red Witch not creating the team herself. I wouldn't blame them. I would feel the same if one day a total stranger more powerful than me just came one day, created a team, and Paulina and Stephen readily agreed to join. It would be very painful and make me have doubts about our relationship."Team leader, he's the one who created the team and added us?" Golden Buddha asked. As usual, he wasn't stingy with his opposition towards me. I would have been very much surprised if he hadn't said anything."Yes, he is," Red Witch replied calmly."So that means we won't be calling you team leader again?" Tainted Angel was the next to ask her question. "I mean, we've been calling you team leader even before we became players."They've been c
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 177: Stealing Another Skill
Nobody argued even though the other three were not willing to partake in the same mission with me. They had wanted to choose me to be the scapegoat to be killed if I'd not mentioned the rules for them. I had anticipated a betrayal such as this but I didn't know it would come in this form. If I hadn't been smart I would have been threatened by these weaklings.I was still thinking within myself when I received another notification. The others didn't receive the notification because they were all looking at me and didn't seem to be aware of the notification which had been sent to me.[IN ORDER TO GET TO THE LOCATION QUICKLY, YOU NEED A MAP][DO YOU WISH TO PURCHASE A MAP TO MISSISSIPPI?][IT COSTS JUST 1000 COINS]You can as well rob me in day time, I said inwardly as I grudgingly accepted to purchase the map with my last coins. I didn't feel bad because the Enigmatic System was very much generous in the real world. I'd even get millions of coins from daily tasks, missions and quests pe
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 178: Preparing to Fight
As I flew through the air, the pressure of the wind against my body became greater till the point I couldn't breathe well. I turned to look at Tainted Angel and Golden Buddha who were some meters behind me and realized they were in a good condition."They have additional skills to enable them to fly in places like this?" I asked myself as I slowly withdrew my gaze from them. "My bad for just copying the Wings Possession skill."It took us twenty minutes till we finally arrived at Mississippi. Upon entering this location I realized that something was wrong. The clouds had this reddish hue as if blood had seeped into them and the atmosphere was very hot. It was as if I had been transported to a desert.I turned to look at my other teammates and realized that their conditions were the worst. It seemed they couldn't spend more than one hour in this place. I didn't even think of gloating about being in a better condition than them. Even though I was a level twenty player and my overall phy
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 179: So Shameless!
The phoenix glared at me from the top of the hill and decided to attack me immediately. It couldn't just stand there and allow me to get to it and I hadn't expected it to do the same. I watched as it let out a louder shriek and shot downwards towards me like an eagle. Its wings were spread apart and its legs curled under it. Wherever it passed was set ablaze and the heat traveled for meters, burning through my lungs."You want heat?" I yelled as I tightened my grip around the sword, summoning a very blazing fire. "I will give you heat!"Boom!I slashed my hands towards the creature's chest, aiming for the core. At this moment I decided to use my Dragon's Fire skill to fight the phoenix. This would give me a great resistance to fire and enhance the lethality of my attacks.The blazing fire which swept out of the sword I was holding assumed the shape of the sword and continued increasing in size as it approached the phoenix. I had underestimated the power of the phoenix greatly because
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 180: Tricky Situation
I didn't bother about my teammates again and turned to face the phoenix which I was fighting. When the battle was over and I had retrieved the phoenix core, I was going to have a word or two with them for hiding their player skills. I even felt they were hiding their player levels. So shameless!By now the phoenix had dimmed significantly with the barrage of attacks I was using on it. Half of its body had even frozen and it was releasing a painful shriek. I knew this shriek was filled with extreme shock as if it couldn't believe what was happening. Well, I didn't care because I was soon going to get its core. I even felt that the battle with the phoenix had been too easy."The system wouldn't have given us this mission and termed it very dangerous," I said silently as I narrowed my eyes. "It had to be dang
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 181: Stalemate
When Golden Buddha made that statement he decided to shrink to normal size. He gently placed Red Witch, Tainted Angel, and Mr. Infinite on the hill covered with snow hails and turned to look at the group before slowly shrinking into his normal size."Nice skill but that's not enough to fight us, little boy," the man said. "The difference between you and us is as day and night. You cannot possibly change anything right now.""Team leader, let's finish them already!" another man said. He was wearing a scary mask which gave him this terrifying presence."Exactly!" another man replied. "We've talked a lot without doing anything! That's so unlike us!"The team leader's glare deepened as he sai
Jason and the Enigmatic System Chapter 182: Dire Situation
Pa! Pa!More shadow chains lashed at me at insane speeds, hitting me in several places and wherever they hit, shadows spewed out first before blood spurted out. I hadn't seen something like this for a long period of time and to be truthful l felt terrified a little.With the bat wings, the man soared through the air at insane speeds as I fell down the hill. More chains formed around him, his expression becoming extremely warped."You should have left the girl when you had the chance!" the man yelled as an enormous chain flew from behind him and drilled into my chest, searing me with agonizing pain."You should have left with the other teammates!" the man continued saying as the chain cont

Epilogue
The last ten months with Paulina have been incredible, way beyond what I ever imagined. Every day feels like a new adventure, and even our quiet times are filled with happiness.Still, I can’t help but worry about the Enigmatic System being gone and whether I played a part in that. It was the reason I got to where I am now, and I feel a real connection to it. It’s tough knowing I couldn’t help it, but can a system really be more than just a bunch of codes?I’m not the only one feeling this way; the whole team is mourning the loss since their systems shut down around the same time. No matter how cutting-edge our tech is, it just can’t match the unique intelligence of the system.As I sat in the living room, I opened up to Paulina, who was snuggled up next to me, really listening."I can’t shake this feeling, Paulina," I confessed. "I know it sounds odd, but it feels like I’ve lost a piece of myself. You get it; you were part of it too."She gave my arm a comforting squeeze. "I totally

Chapter 221: Perfect Proposal
After we got ready, we strolled hand in hand, with Paulina playfully urging me to spill the beans, but I just couldn’t do it. It was a surprise, and I wanted to keep it that way. We left the VIP room, and a staff member gave me a knowing look before leading us down a hidden hallway. Paulina’s eyes were wide with curiosity as we moved away from the usual crowd. At the end of the corridor, we passed through a sleek, unmarked door that opened up to a private elevator.Paulina squeezed my hand, her eyebrows shooting up in excitement. “Jason, what’s happening? This feels like something out of a movie!”I just smiled and stayed quiet, relishing the suspense that was making her even more curious. As the elevator doors closed, I could feel her gaze on me, searching for hints I wasn’t ready to give away.When the doors finally opened, we stepped out onto the rooftop, and there it was—a stunning black helicopter waiting for us, its blades shimmering in the sunlight, with the pilot already on st

Chapter 220: How Much She Meant To Me
As Paulina rested peacefully on the bed, her sleeping face looked even more beautiful than I always knew. In the luxurious VIP suite, surrounded by plush decor and soft lighting, I felt a strange blend of tranquility and anxiety. I wandered over to the mirrored table where the ring I had bought on credit from that Enigmatic System sparkled softly in the glow. Holding it up, I couldn’t help but admire its detailed craftsmanship. The ring was so shiny and seemed transparent, capable of absorbing light. The several beautiful and unfamiliar stones around it made it more beautiful. My eyes sparkled with admiration, but the silence from the Enigmatic System was palpable and a bit unsettling. Not a single word or sound all day, which felt odd. Was it giving me space because I was with Paulina and it understood my plight? Or had my time with it somehow made it feel... more human? That thought left me feeling both intrigued and cautious.I shook off those thoughts; there were more urgent iss

Chapter 219: A Night to Remember
The restaurant buzzed with energy as we arrived. Soft ambient lights wrapped around us, and the rich aroma of gourmet dishes filled the air. As we walked in, I could feel the gaze of other diners on us, and I welcomed it. This was my moment—a chance to reveal the man I had become.“Welcome back, Mr. Lewis!” The hostess greeted me with a warm smile. “Your usual table?”“Yes, please,” I replied, glancing at Paulina. She looked radiant in her elegant dress, her beauty captivating. I felt a surge of pride to be with someone as remarkable as her.er.We were guided to a cozy corner table adorned with fresh flowers and flickering candles. As we settled in, I couldn’t help but admire Paulina. “You look stunning tonight,” I said, reaching across the table to take her hand.“Thank you, Jason. You look charming too,” she replied, her smile lighting up the dim room. “I love this new confidence in you—it’s inspiring.”“Confidence comes with knowing my true worth,” I replied, feeling a surge of emp

Chapter 218: Confrontation
The tension in the boutique thickened as I faced every John and the woman employee. My coronary heart raced, no longer out of worry but from the boiling anger that surged through me. Here I grow to be a modified guy who has risen from the depths of despair, and those two have been the reason for dragging me back down. "Listen right here," I commenced out, my voice steady but laced with authority. "You haven't any idea who you're talking to. I may have been the underdog, however I’m no longer that character. I will no longer stand idly with the useful resource of while you belittle me or my female friend."John laughed, a mocking sound that echoed through the boutique. “Oh, what are you going to do? Throw a tantrum? You do not scare me, you little peasant. You have to be thankful that a person like her even seems your way.”Paulina had subsequently discovered the commotion. She strode over, her expression moving from interest to venture. “What’s going on right here?” she demanded, eyes

Chapter 217: Proposal
After picking the case up I tucked it away in my pocket and it to the sitting room. I saw Paulina in the sitting room pacing about. Obviously, she was a bit nervous about the date she was going to have with me. At this moment she didn't look like the bold and confident woman I used to know."Sorry for keeping you waiting," I said with an apologetic smile. "I had to do something.""I know," Paulina flashed a smile at me. She actually understood I could suddenly become busy at times because I was a player."So let's go shopping," I said as I grabbed her right hand and led her out of the sitting room. We got into my expensive Mercedes Benz and drove away.I decided to stop at a five-star boutique and get some new clothes and jewelries which we were going to wear tonight for our date. I'd already set up everything except for the clothes.As expected the boutique premise was already filled with so many flashy cars. Many wealthy people usually came to buy their wears from this boutique. It

Chapter 216: Buying on Credit
After some moments of silence, the Enigmatic System finally spoke. His voice was no longer sad and it had resumed the usual emotionlessness.[I HAVE A RING WHICH MATCHES YOUR DESCRIPTION BUT IT IS REALLY COSTLY]"Costly?" I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows. "How costly?"[IT IS 5,000 POINTS]"Huh?" I was surprised after hearing that. The Enigmatic System usually made use of coins but now it had switched to points. What was really happening?I had only come across the term, 'points', from Stephen Wale. Back then I'd asked him why he wasn't wealthy and he had told me that his system uses points instead of coins. I'd come across other players and they were not as wealthy as I was. This was because their systems made use of points which could not be converted to real money like the virtual coins the Enigmatic System made use of.[WELL, THERE IS THIS NEW POLICY THAT BANS SYSTEMS FROM USING COINS. WE CAN ALL ONLY USE POINTS FROM NOW ON]"So that's another reason you were punished by that

Chapter 215: The Enigmatic System's Plight
After asking the Enigmatic System about the ring it suddenly fell silent for some moments. I didn't know why it didn't respond to me as usual and it bothered me. I even began thinking that something bad had really happened to the Enigmatic System. Maybe the Creator System which had the consciousness of the systems' creator had decided to place a restriction on the Enigmatic System for behaving more and more like a human instead of the system it was expected to be.I'd watched a cyberpunk movie and there was this artificial intelligence which evolved beyond how it was created. It started becoming more and more like a human being, alarming the creators. In order to prevent the artificial intelligence from gaining sentience and toppling the authority of humans, they decided to destroy it. The artificial intelligence fought a good battle but it could not outmatch humans. With regrets, it parted with the woman it loved as it was shut down by the scientists who created it. They later had th

Chapter 214: Blissful Plan
After the lunch, Stephen announced that he was leaving. He had so many things to catch up on and there was no more time. Nudging his glasses he turned around to leave."Take care, Steve," Paulina said, causing him to turn back slightly. There was a complicated emotion in Stephen's eyes, something I had never seen before."Sure," he nodded and turned to look at me. I could tell that he was asking me not to mention what he had told me earlier to Paulina.I nodded slowly as I said, "Take care, Stephen. You can come up with several contingency plans during your free time.""Believe me," Stephen wasn't smiling. "I already have a contingency plan for every scenario.""Do not slack off in your training," I said."I will come often to spar with you," Stephen said. "Get stronger than me so that you can push me beyond my limit."I smiled as I secretly clenched my fists tightly, "Don't worry. I'll become so strong that you'd be crushed by my gaze."And that was the truth. I wasn't just bluffing
